rhartell2000 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I get an Active Movie window that pops up and minimizes my main Morrowind playing window, this is very annoying. No movies play, it just pops up, I close it then click on my main Morrowind icon on my taskbar and it comes back up and works. Does anyone else get this, or can anyone help me get rid of this issue?

ThetaOrionis01 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 That sounds odd... Do you have any background applications running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 try pressing ctrl+alt+del when the window pops up and see what the name of it is in the task manager. then look for something in the taskbar with a similar name and try closing it (or look for it in processes and close it) alternatively if u have a lot of stuff coming up at startup, u cud try doing start->run->msconfig. click the startup tab and u can disable stuff to stop them from starting when u start up ur computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhartell2000 Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 I ran the msconfig and disabled all kinds of stuff to see if that would work, I also checked atrl-alt-delete and no go. The file is generated from within Morrowind and is an Active Movie "window." It happens when I kill a creature for the first time it seems, then maybe again, and it goes away until I kill another creature or reach a point where it spawns again. Any ideas?

rhartell2000 Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have the latest patches for Morrowind, including Bloodmoon and Tibunal, the newest DirectX, and best video drivers for my card. I wonder if it may have something to do with this section in the morrowind.ini file? [Movies]Company Logo=bethesda logo.bikMorrowind Logo=mw_logo.bikNew Game=mw_intro.bikLoading=mw_load.bikOptions Menu=mw_menu.bik Is there a way to enable or disable the program within morrowind that plays these movie files, or do you know of a place in the registry this is enabled, disabled or referred to?

rhartell2000 Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 I think I may have found the problem. I searched in my registry and found an entry labelled as "active movie" and removed it. Im going to try out running Morrowind now to see if it fixes the problem. Thanks for your help guys.

rhartell2000 Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 Well, that didnt fix it, back to the drawing board. The active movie is definitely running in Morrowind. I checked the ctrl-alt-delete and it pointed to the morrowind.exe file. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, Romorro :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
